If anybody's been following TRC then they would of noticed that it's gone up by about a factor of 10 this week! This increase is most likely, largely due to a very well executed hype campaign by a character named Fontas. I have to give it to him (or the team behind 'him'), he is a genius! Must of made at least 10's of thousands of $, probably more.

My question is does anyone else think that the timing of TRC support on btc-e is a little suspicious?

There was also the amazingly coincidental timing of the Vircurex downtime.

Any thoughts? Maybe I'm just paranoid or ignorant Huh

They were already offering support for all the other coins, this move made sense. trying to get one up on mtgox maybe. I think fontas just took advantage of it. watching him in the trollbox... so confusing. psychological warfare. he certainly is a genius, hats off to him.

It's settling to a more reasonable rate for a new coin.

Or is underpriced?

hahahah!

BTW: I still have never seen, nor heard from Fontas. Is this the new Kaiser Sozse?

more or less retired.

Fontas has no influence whatsoever. Fontas was the laughing stock of the troll box 3 weeks ago because everything he said was stupid. That still holds true. Stupid people gave a stupid guy some sort of credibility.

BTC-e offering support for all other coins? Before Friday night it was only BTC, LTC, NMC & NVC. Fontas started his campaign earlier that week. Did he know that btc-e was going to start supporting TRC that week? If so, how? I didn't think they did any pre-announcements.
To me, it looks like fontas is a btc-e insider.

It's settling alright, back to where it was before the hype.

Fontas has no influence whatsoever.

The number of people who were eating right out of his hand says otherwise. Also the 10 fold price increase can't be explained any other way.

*hurl* and lol



 Shocked So it doesn't seem like anybody thinks the events of last week smell fishy? Three big coincidences...c'mon!

it doesn't really matter who fontas is. he has got influence until people credits him influence. he probably found himself in a good situation by chance and had the opportunity to increase his liquidity when the bubble started, and now he has got enough bitcoins that he can pump and dump other currencies at will and all alone. this credited him as a legend over the trollbox, and when he talks people listen. he happened by chance to be the king of trolls and he's playing it well, nothing more

TRC is undervalued.
There are only close to 2,000,000 TRC in circulation.

I'm sure TRC value will go up very soon, I bought a huge amount of them Smiley
